I am trying to indent the right margin of my table view cell's text label

I've used the following code to make a cell indent from the left:

[cell setIndentationWidth:1];
[cell setIndentationLevel:15];

Unfortunately this offsets table view cell text labels when a cell contains a lot of text, so the problem here is that the ellipsis is the contents of the text label are further to the right and the ellipsis shows up further than usual when indenting from the left.

How can I make my UITableViewCell's textLabel have a right indent (or margin) as well?

I did the following (seems you can't just set the frame of the text label any other way).

Header (.h):

@interface UITableViewCellFixed : UITableViewCell

@property (nonatomic, assign) CGRect textLabelFrame;

@end

Implementation (.m):

@implementation UITableViewCellFixed : UITableViewCell

- (id)initWithLabelFrame:(CGRect)textLabelFrame {
    self = [super init];
    if (self)
        self.textLabelFrame = textLabelFrame;
    return self;
}

- (void) layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];
    self.textLabel.frame = self.textLabelFrame;
}

@end

...

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    ...
    UITableViewCellFixed *cell = [[UITableViewCellFixed alloc] initWithLabelFrame:CGRectMake(30, 0, tableView.frame.size.width - 60, 50)];
    ...
}
